Exceptions

Exceptions from the policy can be made in individual cases.

SUNET Archive anonymity and logging policy.

The SUNET Archive only collects traffic data for the purpose of problem solving and statistics, typically traffic volume and file popularity.

Section 9 of the Swedish Personal Data Protection Act states that;
The controller of personal data shall ensure that personal data are not kept for a longer period than that as is necessary having regard to the
purpose of the processing.

Since IP numbers may be considered personal data, only the first part of an IP address, corresponding to that of a class B network is retained in the archive logs. This is enough for statistical purposes but not enough to identify a particular user.
